Hello,
Thank you for your interest in the webinar, “Leveraging local actions to
support food chain workers during COVID-19” that took place yesterday.
The FPN team and our broader network would like to extend our deepest thanks to
Claudia, Christina, Jose, and Nessia for their valuable perspectives on why
policy changes are needed and what potential levers, especially during the
current crisis, are available at the local and state levels to support food
chain workers.
